A museum about the textile industry that supported Katsuyama in the past. The exhibits of machinery and the people who supported the industry are wonderful.

It was such a wonderful place that I wondered if admission was free. At first, I thought of making coasters, but I also became curious about crafts using cocoon balls, so I decided to try that. I made some wonderful memories for just 600 yen. Also, on the second floor, the guide gave us a detailed explanation, and we had a really fun time. I would like to visit again when I come to Katsuyama City.

This is a museum about the silk fabric and textile industry that once flourished in Katsuyama City and its surrounding areas. I don't think it's hard to tell what kind of facility it is because of the name "Yumeore", but... It seems that the workshop that was once in operation is being used as a museum, and although there was a fee for the experience corner, there was no admission fee. It is a two-story building, with the first floor mainly containing explanations about the history and the process leading up to the final product, and the second floor containing actual exhibits. Perhaps because there were no other customers when I went, the staff member explained the process to me. While it is impressive to see so many machines in action, I also feel that the work efficiency is not very good, and I wonder if they have been caught up in the wave of price competition. . Although I didn't use it myself, there was a cafe in the building in addition to the store.

I visited on a Sunday afternoon. It's a pity that it has a historic exterior, valuable looms that are a witness to history, and admission is free. Weaving and cocoon making experiences are available for a fee. The shop also has a wide variety of goods. In addition to the cocoon ball soap, the accessories made from glasses, a specialty of Fukui, are also interesting. There are few sweets such as habutae mochi and miso walnut manju. There happened to be a concert on the day I visited, so I enjoyed my ears. The sight of the looms on the second floor moving is a sight to behold. The older man explained it in great detail. thank you. It was worth seeing.

It was a fun facility. You can enjoy the history and experiences of weaving. I was there as a group, and when we entered, we were shown a DVD about the history of weaving for about 7 minutes, and then the facility staff gave us a 20-minute tour of the facility. The building is a two-story building, and there are many interesting things to see, such as the process by which looms have evolved over time and live silkworms. The explanations were very easy to understand, and I was overwhelmed by the power of the machines in action and the rows of looms lined up, so it was even better than I expected. I was also happy that one of the guides accompanied the small group, so it was easy to listen to what was being said. It looks like you can try your hand at crafting, so I'd like to try it again if I have time. In the souvenir corner, there were things that could only be purchased here, such as silk scarves, lotion, and soap. The parking lot was also spacious.
